Higher resolution videos, especially in full screen mode, both in FF and Chrome are crashing. Disabled all add-ons so that's not the issue. Rolled back the latest Adobe flash and still the same. Uninstalled Nvidia 275.33 and attempted to roll back to 270.6, however, now I get the 'graphics driver can not find compatible graphics hardware' message. Attempted to reinstall 275.33 and got the same message. Never did I have this problem before. I did not keep the 270.6 in my download file so I can't get it from there. Nvidia does not allow rollback in device manager. System restored so the graphic driver is now 275.33 again- still with flash crashing issues. Espn3 streaming seems fine. Cannot pinpoint when this started to happen since the graphics card update, Flash update, and the new monitor all came occurred within the last few weeks. Could this be related to a recent dual monitor hookup- but crashes without as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having similar issues ever since I updated to 10.3, apparently Adobe has admitted 10.3 has problems with IE9 (I have all the same problems in Chrome as well).

I don't have any issue with the 275.33 driver and Flash 10.3 (full screen videos) in any browser. I don't know what you mean by flash is crashing (Does the video freeze?).
Reinstall Flash player and see if that helps. -
So stop using Flash. There, problem solved
.
In all seriousness, if you uninstall the nVidia drivers through the control panel you should be able to install any version after a reboot without having issues with the hardware being detected or not. -
In fact must have been a dirty install of the Nvidia drivers. When installing 275.33 again, the message box stated I may not have installed correctly, went with another install from there and all seems to be well. Thanks for the help.

Thought this issue went away. Crashes in all browsers. Uninstalled driver in devise manager, cleaned all temp files, used drivesweeper. Disabled all add-ons etc. Kind of out of ideas. -
Does this happen in all web sites?
Never uninstall the Nvidia driver from device manager, only from the Programs list. Uninstall, reboot in safe mode, run driver sweeper, reboot, and then install the new Nvidia driver. -
-
Executed both suggestions with no success. Starting to think about a clean install. Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated. Completely out of ideas. -
Don't you have system image backups that you can go back to? -
Full system image backup install fixed it. Will never know what happened.
